Image:Citratcyclus.svg - not featured[edit]

  •  Info created by User Minutemen on de.wikipedia — uploaded by Gia.cossa — nominated by Erina
  •  Support SVG, therefore it's not a nomination for cuteness or emotional impact, but mainly for lots of good work (less than the ant, but still much) and great informational value. And it looks nice, too. Just one problem: I don't know whether it is correct, I don't know German, nor biochemistry. I'm nominating supposing that it is correct.

  •  Comment -- actually I am sure "u.v.m." is no official German abbreviation. There is one that is close: u.v.a. (und viele andere = and many more) where there is NO blank in between the individual letters. -- Boereck 09:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you are right. The online-version of the Duden [1] lists it WITH the blanks while my printed version "Der große Duden - 14th Edition" (sorry, I'm old school) has it without. I think the online-source is more recent but I usually prefer to rely on printed material so that is where I checked first. I grant you to be completely right in this case, though! -- Boereck 11:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Could someone translate it into english, so I could translate it into polish? Ss181292 09:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment orientation/justification on the labels around the centre of the yellow circle, notiable between 9-12 o'clock looks unbalance, compared to the rest of that sequence. Gnangarra 08:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- I think it is a good and very helpful illustration! I have not checked it yet because I cannot find my old biology notes but if I do, I will do so. For now you got my support! -- Boereck 09:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Nützliches Bild im praktischen svg-Format, einzig Citronensäure sollte wie bei Citrat mit C geschrieben werden. Usefull picture, usefull file format. --Andel 10:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think in order to qualify for FP-status in the Commons no local languages (like German) should be used but an international one (English or Latin). I know, this is not an established rule, but I suggest we should make it up. (By the way, in spite of being German, the English word Cholesterol is used instead of the German Cholesterin.) Roger McLassus 10:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cholesterol is just as german. It actually is the smarter name, since cholesterol is a sterol. And by the way I completely disagree about the language ban you proposed. Latin? The german WP is the second largest, so expect lots of german media. FP status should be language independent anyways, if a picture is featured it'll only be additional motivation to translate it to other languages. --Dschwen 22:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Maybe I was misunderstood. Which language is used for naming a picture is of course irrelevant. But text-oriented graphics like this one are a different matter. Would you dare to vote if it were Chinese? Only few people participating here know German, but everyone knows English. (I admit, Latin was not so good an idea either.) Roger McLassus 06:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I see your point, but I still disagree. In this discussion alone I see four people who know german. It seems like a no brainer that you should only vote if you comprehend the illustration, so, no, of course I wouldn't dare to vote on a chinese diagram. The point is as long as there are enough competent voters why shouldn't it be featured? This is a self regulating process, and I don't see a need to further regulate/restrict it. And let me elaborate on competent and comprehend, language is not the only barrier here, subject matter is as or even more important so ultimately every voter has to judge for herself/himself weather she or he is fit to judge the picture. Why should language skills be treated any different than let's say knowledge of biochemistry? --Dschwen 08:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Strong oppose - The text is too small on the image description page. If I then click on the image to see it full size, it throws up an error box "Do you want to save this file. Name: Citratcyclus.svg. Type: Unknown File Type. Save. Cancel. Warning, some files can potentially harm your computer (etc.)". Well, I don't particularly want to save something that might harm my computer, but I would like to see it full size. As it is, it's useless. - MPF 11:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It didn't do it to me even once of the eight times I opened the image. are you sure you did it right? why are you blaming the picture for it? I am sure all voters above would have complained if the image did not open. you better try it again. -- Boereck 12:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow, this is as if someone who used lynx would oppose on all nominations because the pictures didn't show up... --Dschwen 16:31, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
